Hello, can anybody help out there (UK based residents)?
We went to Tyrol/Austria for my stag night & skiing and also went to see the big Kitzbuehel downhill race on Jan 19th 2008 (Hahnenkamm). I've heard that the race was featured on Ski Sunday on Jan 20th on BBC. Has anybody recorded Ski Sunday on Jan 20th and is willing to provide me the vidoe tape? I'm willing to pay for the expenses (e.g. video tape) and a bit more (up to £ 40). Anybody who does have the recording on a tape and is interested in my offer, please reply back to travel_4_ever@hotmail.com

Hello
I'm off to Sierre at Tahoe - but there don't seem to be many reviews of the place... anyone know the area and want to leave a bit of feedback in the resort guide on what to expect and what it's like!
Cheers,

Talking about Gressoney, Monterosaski: plenty of snow, fabulous weather, great landscapes, good food and.. drinks! Simply perfect for anyone.
Perfect for my son that has just started skiing; perfect for my wife that is a good skier on piste and perfect for me, that like off-piste so much.
What a perfect week!!

Hi
Can anyone suggest any good places to eat in Sierra Nevada - we came last year and are coming back end Feb as it is ideal for a weekend ski trip but from memory the food was not so good.
Amanda

Mammoth Mountain in Central California has some steeps open ( Chutes with 45 degree pitches or better( wipe out drop out chutes ) access from gondola at summit 12,050 feet.

If visiting California or western Canada have a look at my site after getting your snow reports here:

"There is no off Season "
Happy Pow Holidays to all !

Have been skiing at Bareges/La Mongie since it opened last Friday. The skiing is great and conditions excellent. More snow forecast for Christmas Day. So get yourselves down here for some good skiing at great prices. Today 50% of the pistes were open - and we had the place to ourselves!

Great site; it makes my skiing holiday start before I get there! Only one complaint: the weekly round up is tough to read...have you guys never heard of paragraphs!

November 28, 2007Mark Smyth from United Kingdom

Just thought I'd give a write up for Sainte Foy in France. We have been there for the last two years and it is brilliant for families. Small resort but plenty of pistes for everyone. No waiting at the lifts and the lift operators are brilliant for slowing down the lifts for the kids getting on and off. Probably not a great spot for the more advanced skier unless you are going off piste and then there is plenty but not a lot of pistes for the advanced. If you want any more info just email me at chumly@marsmy.freeserve.co.uk

cheers,
Mark

Just wanted to recommend Vaujany for a great family ski resort in the Alp d'Huez region. We stayed at the 5 star Oisans apartments booked through Ski Peak last year. This year we are pushing the boat out and staying in their 5 star Chalet Saskia! Can't wait.....if you want to know more try here vaujany-chalets.com

October 26, 2007 Barrie & Astrid Watkiss from France

The French Pyrenees is a wonderful place to ski. Take a look at tourmalet.fr and you will see extensive skiing available to all levels of skiers.
We are expecting good snow this season. Our 2 warm cosy gites are just 30 minutes from Tourmalet, we are 5 minutes from the town of Bagneres de Bigorre. Take a look at our site www.leparede.com for excellent priced accomodation (and excellent quality) - and skiing at half the price of the Alps!

October 21, 2007Giuliana Christmas from United States

Hi,

Is there anyone out there from Norway or planning a trip to Voss early Jan?
I am going skiing solo this year and would welcome a bit of background info / a buddy to help me on my way. Cheers

October 08, 2007ste from United Kingdom

just booked 4 day break to chamonix (skiing 3 days) early feb can anyone recommend which lift pass to get cham local,cham area or mont blanc we're strong intermediates who like skiing on piste? thanks.

Can you believe it? Snow in Chamonix last week that came close to the valley. Lets hope the bad weather in Europe over the summer will mean lots of snow in the winter too.

May 29, 2007Protactanium from United Kingdom

Damn. No sign of any snow yet.

Hi,
Great web site for outlook of Mouth Damavand ,in fact the only one.
Should anybody be interested to have information or climb to
Mouth Damavand ( 5671 M ) may visit my weblog:

Tks.

For regional outlooks this site really is cool. I can tell you run your maps off the NWS weather models or so which is cool. You see I forecast for ALL of Southern Califonia with any type of weather. You can have a look at my work here. We do SNOW FORECASTING as well. www.ontarioweatherservice.com
We aren't as regional as you,but we are more accurate for So Cal based on the geography of our mountains here. Most resorts see MORE than you advertise. Snow Valley has near 6-10 inches from this last storm total. You have 2 inches. Have a good one. [EDITOR - Thanks Kevin. We are already aware that GFS underestimates snowfall along the Pacific Coastal States especially and are looking at alternatives - Mesoscale models certainly improve accuracy and we are hopeful that we will soon be able to provide these as alternatives. The problem, as always, is generating timely forecasts, but the latest dual Opteron machines look like the answer. Good luck with your website. Rob Davies]

February 08, 2007 Bernard from United Kingdom

Great website! The weather maps and resort information are really useful. If anyone is interested in renting a ski chalet in Isola 2000, have a look at www.chaletisola.com.

January 27, 2007 Josef Kukacka from Austria

Your site is really useful, I even had been registered its worth the money. BUT could you please consider to present Austria as a dedicated page? Right now you can see it with Germany (too small scale) or under Estern Alps (not complete, resorts like Semmering or Ötscher belong to the Eastern Alps and are not on the map)

Servus

Great site! Hi I'm going to Sierra Nevada in southern Spain in the last week of March. Has anyone been this time of year? Whats the snow condition like? Feedback would be much appreciated.

Mat - it varies a lot from year to year - see the snow history pages on our Sierra Nevada page - you can see every report for the past 5 years and graphs show you the depths etc. [ed.]

January 19, 2007 Nina from United Kingdom

Just got back from Whistler, Canada. I have never seen so much snow and the resort is excellent. Two days we woke up to 23cm of fresh powder snow. It's a 10 hour flight from the UK but if you love to ski/board then its well worth the journey for the experience. Whistler village is packed with shops, bars and restaurants and with the Canadian Dollar being so low against the pound we could not resist a bit of retail therapy too!
Don't miss such a good year in Whistler! :)

January 13, 2007 Hendy from United Kingdom

Good usefull site !!
Of to Bardonnechia on 27th ... can't wait !! but hey whats going on with the white stuff ???? we need a lot more ! anybody got any tips on the resort ?

January 12, 2007Abdullah from Jordan

Gr8 site... lot of useful info...
BTW, I'll go with my family to Faraya at this month-end inshAllah. However, there is little snow...What do you think, will it get better by that date?

Thanks
[Editor - I have sent you an email about the long range prospects for snow]

January 03, 2007 Sjors from Netherlands

He guys...

GREAT site..... REALLY up to date unlike most other ones (at least for "Val Thorens")

Going to Whistler on the 21st of Jan for 18 nights, can't wait WOO HOO!!
72 cms of snow in 24 hrs today, how the hell does that happen?
(Sorry to gloat) :-)
Snow's falling in Europe as well, so things are looking alot better.
Brilliant site BTW, used it for the last 4 years

January 02, 2007 Shaun from United Kingdom

Just like to let you all know about a great little resort in Italy called Macugnaga. Discovered it last year. Not for those who want the night life, but we had a really enjoyably stay. Hardly any queues, some nice little mountain restaurants for lunching, excellent instructors. I'd say a great place for parties with kids. None of the UK tour operators go there, but its easy from Milan. Recommend Cristalo hotel - 5 mins walk to lift and ski back to front door. And there is snow there!

December 31, 2006Rob from United Kingdom

This is a great site for sado's like me who check the conditions everyday.
I am going to Maria Alm in the Hochkonig region of Austria. I've recently bought an apartment there and this will be the first winter skiing as yet. Its also the first skiing I've done for 2 years as I missed a year due to knee reconstruction so I'm really up for this.

Should anybody be interested in renting the apartment in this beautiful region of Salzbugerland please visit www.alpineloft.co.uk
Wish I was there now! Cheers, Rob
